On Saturday afternoon December 21, Assumption is joining Holy Name Cathedral for a Posada, a ritual reenactment of Mary and Joseph's search for shelter the night Jesus was born. The Posada (which means "inn") will leave from in front of Holy Name at 2:30, make several stops along the way, and finally find welcome at Assumption's Parish Hall, where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to join the procession. |

| Baptism Preparation Session | |
|
|
Our next preparation session for parents (and, if possible, godparents) of infants to be baptized is Monday, January 6, at the Rectory. Sessions are from 7:00 to 8:15pm. These sessions are for first time parents and for parents who have never before attended a preparation session. Call the Parish Office to register. It is not necessary to wait for the baby to be born to attend a preparation session. Baptisms normally take place on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 1:15pm and on the first weekend of the month during Mass. | Changes to ELECTRONIC GIVING | ||
Assumption is in the process of replacing several unconnected ways of keeping membership and financial records with a single coordinated system called Breeze. This will make our office operations more efficient and offer new ways for parishioners to manage their own personal data. A lot of that data has not been updated since members first joined. The first impact will be for on-line giving. People who have been using GiveCentral will be asked to establish a Breeze account. Instructions will be provided in individual email messages sent from comm@assumption-chgo.org. |

Assumption's Leadership Group has produced a series of ten-minute videos about various aspects of prayer. One or more of them might help jumpstart your prayer life.
This year’s Advent Calendar focuses on care for creation. For each day of Advent, there are reflections to ponder and actions to take to prepare us to celebrate the Feast of a God who loved us enough to take human flesh.
